Person

I am a researcher in Phonetics. My research is about the body's possibilities and limitations in the creation of language. I am interested in the universals of our spoken language, i.e. what is common to all languages, especially regarding the smallest units (consonants and vowels) and how they are affected by rhythm and melody (prosody). Recently, I have focused on acceleration and deceleration in the movements of the articulators.

I did my doctorate in phonetics at Lund University in the fall of 2020 with the thesis "Articulation in time. Some word-initial segments in Swedish".

I am project manager in a postdoc project funded by the Swedish Research Council. The project is about how the jaw moves during speech. During 2022 and 2023, I have been a visiting researcher at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU). In 2023 and 2024 I am a visiting researcher at Queen Margeret University in Edinburgh, Scotland.
